James Ulak, former senior curator of Japanese art, National Museum of Asian Art, explains how Tawaraya Sōtatsu’s use of the technique tarashikomi, a process of applying wet ink on wet paper, in the folding screens Dragons and Clouds (F1905.229 and F1905.230) creates a sensuous feeling of dragons moving in and out of clouds. Yukio Lippit, professor of history of art and architecture, East Asian Art Program, Harvard University, explains the process of tarashikomi.
